[Njoy704]

So today I was reading up on endocarditis and how just brushing or flossing your teeth can cause it. Omg. Now Im scared to brush and floss. Wth. I feel like I'll go into a panic after I brush my teeth and wait for death to come from endocarditis.

Stop reading that, follow this instead: Practice good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day; floss at least once daily; rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash at least once a day. Good oral and dental health is very important for patients at risk for endocarditis.-WebMD
